Britney Spears is back on TV ... with Doogie

So what if Neil Patrick Harris didn't like the stunt-casting of Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother? It seems some suits at CBS didn't like Doogie yapping his trap, so as punishment they're making him act out scenes with Miss Brit until he learns some manners. Record ratings will do that to producers.

In a clip released by CBS, Harris is shown hanging out with Brit's Abby, wearing matching sweaters as boyfriend and girlfriend. Oh, there's so much she doesn't know! Anyway, we know the background gossip already, so check out the clip above. The episode airs May 12. Neil eats crow on May 13.
